Resilience at work is an individual’s ability to continue on a positive developmental trajectory in the face of adversity; characterized by demonstrated competence in the context of adversity, professional growth, and the ability to handle future challenges

CNMs who did not talk about going into midwifery as a calling seemed more flexible about making changes to adapt to their context.

“I think in the beginning I was concerned about making concessions and I was gonna change the world and then somewhere along the way I realized there are some people who don’t want that kind of experience, they do not want to have a home birth, they do not want to have an unmedicated birth, and that does not mean they should not be advocated and supported as well. …Ultimately I ended up working in the inner city for a number of years and it was pretty far cry from the midwifery I was trained for. I was working with inner city girls, but at the same time, nobody screams needing a midwife than a fifteen year old homeless girl. So it’s a different kind of midwifery that I just did not know existed until I became one.”

Not ALL the CNMs who talked about their work as a calling showed decreased resilience in the face of adversity. In fact, some talked about it as a reason for their positive functioning in the face of hardships:

“I do this work because it was what I was made to do. And so, even when I have a week full of sleepless nights, thankless patients, and hard labors, I still look forward to each and every birth.”

General purpose: To understand how golfers demonstrate resilience during the PGA tour qualifying tournament, and the tactics they use in each of these situations

Short-term (bad shot/round)

Long-term (between tournaments)

This study: Understand the specific tactics (cognitive, affective, social, and behavioral) individuals use for both short and long-term resilience, and how work orientation impacts the use of these tactics.

“It launches the careers of future legends and serves crushing blows to past stars looking for one more chance. Every fall, more than a thousand veterans and talented hopefuls sweat through three phases of hell in the Q school, as the tournament is universally known, vying for the 30 slots available on the PGA Tour. It is a test all but a handful of the most brilliant players have to endure, and it's not just another tournament in which a player can try again next week if he misses the cut. At Q school, a bad round or the wrong mind-set means you're out for the year.”
